The band director — a well known figure at Sarasota High School — was placed on paid administrative leave Feb. 28 and then later reassigned to human resources clerical work because of the ongoing investigation.

District spokesman Scott Ferguson, who was notified Thursday of the news, said no date has been set yet for Roseboom to return to the classroom.

The allegations stem from a December incident in which a former student, now a 17-year-old at State College of Florida, drove to pick Roseboom up at his house for lunch.

Roseboom, a well-known figure at the school, was the “go-to” teacher and like a father figure to many students, the girl told authorities, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office investigation report.

But the girl, who babysat for Roseboom and his wife, thought it was unusual to meet him at his house. It was the first time she had been alone there with Roseboom, who had taken the day off from work, the report said.

“Once she was in his house, there was no ‘Hi' or anything. He just pushed her against the wall, started touching her and putting his tongue in her mouth,” the report said. The girl “described his behavior as ‘so weird, so random.' ”

The girl warned Roseboom that he would get in trouble if they moved further, and Roseboom instructed her not to tell anyone, she told authorities during their investigation.

The student convinced Roseboom to go to lunch at Panera Bread, but “she quickly realized that was a bad decision because Roseboom was trying to hold her hand and was rubbing his hand on her leg as he was driving.”

At the restaurant, Roseboom did not have any money, so the girl paid $18.91 for their food, the report said.

The conversation at lunch was different from their normal talks: Roseboom allegedly mentioned his affairs and other young women he met during a bachelor party on a cruise ship, she told police in the report.

“Roseboom had a totally different personality, and it seemed so odd that all of this was happening in one day,” according to her testimony.

The next day, Roseboom reportedly texted the girl and invited her over, saying he was alone at the house with his daughter for three hours.

The girl told authorities “he was such a different person, that she loved to death before this happened and that this has just destroyed her.”

“She doesn't trust him anymore and she is somewhat fearful he might retaliate against her,” according to the investigation.

The investigation

On Feb. 27, the girl contacted her former Sarasota Middle School counselor to talk about filing a complaint.

Authorities interviewed current and former students, teachers, school administrators and others during the investigation.

Their testimony often conflicted. Some described Roseboom as a wonderful teacher who had never done anything inappropriate with his students.

Others said there were rumors circulating about him, and Roseboom was known to hug female students, kiss them on the forehead or comment on what they were wearing.

Roseboom, 32, is paid $47,390 annually and has worked at Sarasota County Schools since Aug. 1, 2006.

After an investigation, the Sheriff's Office submitted an affidavit to the State Attorney's Office recommending Roseboom be charged with two counts of battery, according to an interdepartmental memorandum.

But prosecutors said in the same document that “while the victim appears credible, there is not enough evidence to pursue charges at this time.”

Roseboom had not been asked to take a polygraph test, so his attorney said he took one independently through a polygraph expert who regularly works with law enforcement. He passed the test, Collins said.

“It was the only way he could show he was truthful when he said it didn't happen,” he said.
